Implementing Dynamic Flexibility in Workflows using Worklets
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the implementation, using a Service Oriented Architecture, of an approach for dynamic flexibility and evolution in workflows through the support of flexible work practices, based not on proprietary frameworks, but on accepted ideas of how people actually work. A set of principles have been derived from a sound theoretical base and applied to the development of worklets, an extensible repertoire of self-contained sub-processes that can be applied in a variety of situations depending on the context of the particular work instance.

متن کاملFacilitating Flexibility and Dynamic Exception Handling in Workflows through Worklets
Workflow management systems are implemented to support the modelling, analysis and enactment of rigidly structured business processes. However, they typically have difficulty supporting unexpected or developmental change occurring in the work practices they model, and providing adequate support for exceptions, or deviations from the process model, even though such deviations are a common occurr...

This paper presents the realisation, using a Service Oriented Architecture, of an approach for dynamic, flexible and extensible exception handling in workflows, based not on proprietary frameworks, but on accepted ideas of how people actually work. The approach utilises an established framework for workflow flexibility called worklets and a detailed taxonomy of workflow exception patterns to pr...

متن کاملFlexible Workflow Management in the OPENflow System
Workflow management systems are required to provide flexible ways of managing workflows as the business processes they represent frequently require changes over time. Provision of flexibility features in workflow management systems is very much a research issue as workflow systems in use today have been found lacking in such features. Two approaches to achieving flexibility in workflows have be...
